Ivan Advisories

[Josephine96]

Not so good

[NorthGaWeather]

The Detroit Tigers have a better chance of winning the world series than the GFS verifing.

Very sad news from that beautiful island.

[dhweather]

With the WNW motion and large windfield, I wouldn't be suprised if the Jamacia watches go up
at 5PM.

[Josephine96]

Can you say Category 5.. or at least close to it.. a 6 milibar drop is definitely not cool..

[canegrl04]

I wouldn't rely on GFS to predict the time of day

[Cookiely]

She's depressed today. Give her a break. We've all been through a lot the past couple of weeks.

[Lebowsky]

Another big storm.

[Josephine96]

WX.. I don't "own" the house I live in.. But I have been doing most of the clean up... The mess is getting to be pretty depressing to clean up

[CFL]

Seems as if someone has been passing a hurricane magnet around the entire state! Unfortunately I think this path or something close to it is what we're going to see. . .

Indeed that "cone" is a ridiculous cone. Let's see, based on their cone it could hit the Yucatan, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida or South Carolina.

Nothing like making a prediction. At least Accuweather will be able to say they predicted it first since they predicted every possible location.

I really can't imagine the emotional trauma that would occur if Ivan hit storm-weary Florida, much
less the damage from a 4/5.

[x-y-no]

Yep ... Ivan's a very big boy ...

[patsmsg]

Well I'd never wish for a Cat5, but...

From an preparedness standpoint...I think that once a storm reaches Cat 5 out at sea, it tends to get greater respect - even if it degrades to say a Cat3 by landfall.

In other words, people take more notice and are more prepared when a Cat 3 storm that wasa Cat 5 makes landfall than when a smaller storm makes Cat 3 just prior to landfall. That may save lives.

Am I looking at this in a strange way?

[latemodel25]

good one!

[Josephine96]

Dh.. I am actually still recovering emotionally from Charley.. Frances came along and didn't help.. I love these storms don't get me wrong.. But we can only take so much here!

[FLGuest]

This storm is NO longer a "fish" is has already hit land, and will do so again regardless if it hits the US

[fsuprime]

well as i see it we are 5-5 over the last 10 years (and i dont care if you were on suspension it just means you cheated before that to get your wins :p)

anyways hope for a great game! and no injuries to either team!
